  1. WALTER doing anything should be sold like that.
  2. Two things I love about WALTER: he beats the fuck out of people and he finishes his matches with whatever he damn well pleases.
  3. Biggest upset since yesterday and Australia actually winning a match; which itself was the biggest upset since England got rolled by Afghanistan. Looks like no-one is so good at Cricket that they can't be beat on the wrong day.
  4. This isn't what Buttler meant when he said that he didn't feel like England wouldn't be "defending" their title. Joe Root had a quiet day with the bat but he took four catched and bowled another guy; finished the night more economical than any of the England pacemen. Where's Moeen Ali hiding? This was clearly a day for spin and not medium pace.
  5. That is the first time in quite some time that an inadvertant shoulder to the head has not been given as a penalty at the very least, and while I am not against this as a development from the standpoint of common sense, my glasses in this matter are very red, with little dragony wings sticking out of the side. Although, in all honesty, I was pleasantly surprised to see Wales even make out of the group, so I guess there's that.
  6. There only needs to be Too Short Cricket and Too Long Cricket, anyway.
  7. I like how we all collectively ignored the opener, good effort, lads.
  8. Incidentally, Points Difference is the 9th Tiebreaker in the NFL's byzantine system. I don't remember anything ever coming down to it.
  9. Argentina are playing their other next-door neighbours, Chile. Chile winning would be hilarious; but the only real upset so far has been Georgia drawing to that mighty Rugby Footballing Super Power, Portugal but even that has happened before recently.
  10. I would have had Wales as the first of the Home Nations eliminated from the group stages, who knew the Australians were going to be so bad?
  11. I've lived through the inexplicable (to me) rises of the Spice Girls, Coldplay and Ed Sheeran and it is clear to me that I have know idea what Capital-P People like, I only know what I like. People are fucken weird.
  12. Wales just need to put their feet up; although winning the group and locking in a Quarter Final that they could actually win would be nice before getting the brakes beaten off them in the semi-final by, well, whoever. Locking in the seedings for the World Cup three years in advance may well be the dumbest thing World Rugby does, apart from the head-on shot of the TMO during the (many) video reviews in a match. Then again, I would be quite happy to replace all replay officials in all sports with the NRL's Kasey Badger.
  13. The great thing about Sumo is that there isn't really any rules at all, only expected modes of behaviour that can be ignored whenever it's convenient; but also enforced on the whims of the Elders.
  14. First successful defence for them in seven plus years.
  15. Koji Kitao was horrible as a wrestler and a human being and I am sorry for bringing him up. Koki Kitahara was a fun, undersized midcard brute, a sort of Proto-Ishii; and I am doubly sorry for turning the conversation away from him.
  16. I don't know what it is, but I've always felt Misawa's stoic Ice Man Ace bit worked much better against the other native Japanese wrestlers than it did against the Americans.
  17. He came up a few years back in the Sumo Thread, and I think I might just link you there for a bit of background about exactly the kind of fuckhead we're talking about here. That promo is magnificent, the Anticristo comparison is spot on.
  18. He was right, needed more of Koki Kitahara wrecking people. I sometimes have to check which one out of Koki Kitahara and Koji Kitao was the good one: it was Kitahara, Kitao was a big Sumo name and also a creep and a slug.
  19. For a while his gimmick was "obnoxious star striker of a non-existent football team," although the last time I saw him he was sat in a wheelchair with a vacant stare, so my information may not be up to date.
  20. Newcastle become the 355th True and Accurate Champions of English Football, holding the belt for the 19th time. It's their first title win since 2019, although they haven't successfully defended the belt since July 2016. Only four teams have won the belt more times; but six teams have 'won' more title matches; with a seventh equal with them.
  21. Especially if certain Shane Warne cosplayers are going to put up historically awful bowling figures against South Africa. Any other nation, I might be worried for the World Cup, but all the good South Africans play for England.
  22. I don't know what he was hoping to achieve there other than outing himself as a fuddy-duddy.
  23. Hopefully not, that would make a fun retirement match whether he likes it or not.
  24. Top of each league gets a free win in the best of seven LCS; where they play the winners of a 3 game series between the second and third placed teams, all at the home of the second place team. This is a system I don't hate because it rewards the winners during the regular season. Home Field Advantage for the Japan Series alternates each year between the two leagues.
